<A NAME="sec4"><H3>Description</H3></A>
<P>The algorithm <SAMP>reverse()</SAMP> reverses the elements in a sequence so that the last element becomes the new first element, and the first element becomes the new last. For each non-negative integer <SAMP>i &lt;= (finish - start)/2</SAMP>, <SAMP>reverse()</SAMP> applies <SAMP><A HREF="iter-swap.html">iter_swap()</A></SAMP> to all pairs of iterators <SAMP>start + I, (finish&nbsp;-&nbsp;I)&nbsp;- 1</SAMP>. </P>
<A NAME="sec5"><H3>Complexity</H3></A>
<P><SAMP>reverse()</SAMP> performs exactly <SAMP>(finish - start)/2</SAMP> swaps.</P>
